The suggested method, namely the optimal variational iteration method, is investigated for convergence. Furthermore, the proposed method is tested on one-dimensional and two-dimensional wave equations in unbounded domains in order to better understand the solution mechanism and choose the best auxiliary parameter.Comparisons with results from the standard variational iteration procedure demonstrate that the auxiliary parameter is very useful in tracking the convergence field of the approximate solution. %> http://maco.lu.ac.ir/article-1-105-en.pdf %P 73-83 %& 73 %! %9 Research Article %L A-10-143-1 %+ Department of Computer Engineering, Meybod University, Meybod, Iran %G eng %@ 2717-0624 %[ 2022
